Horizon of Darkness

-- Ah, a club, that's a good gift too, yes. Your mother is great, she's caring.
Henry walks over and pries off a small piece of wood from the club.
"He needs milk... I should have taken milk from that mooing cow of his, damn."
-- So, if you behave quietly, old man from the village, -- the American looked around. -- I'll have that big stump bring you milk, okay? Don't get too close to it, not at all, or there won't be any milk. Sit quietly and wait, and when the old man leaves, drink the milk and put the bucket on the stump. And we'll look for your mother. I promise, we'll find her soon. We're very, very good at finding people.

My first thought - harpies, maybe?

Hmm...
I leave Zeikin outside. I activate ultimate stealth level 80 and slowly, slowly creep like that mouse from the meme. I listen.

1. If I don't hear voices, conversations - I creep along the scent of grass. If the big thing and the grass have the same source of scent - I assess the situation, how many other potential enemies there are, whether the big thing is sleeping or awake, based on this, I'll decide whether it's worth trying to steal the grass or not. If the grass is far from the big thing, I quietly collect it using stealth.
2. If I hear voices and conversations - it depends on their content, but either the same scheme, or we'll resolve it amicably.
